S* By Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury. y No group of men in the United -,States measured up to the test of the .1great war more admirably thau did the bankers. The success of the Unit jed StatOa Treasury Department in . floating over $21,000,000,000 in Liber ty Bonds and Victory Notes during a the last two years was due in ne small measure to the patriotic co-operatiow of the banks. They too'k a most ac tive part in each of the loan cam paigns. L They subscribed generously for themselves, made loans to their -us tonlers in order that they might buy bonds, and sold bonds on installments to accommodate those having small savings. In other words, the banks did everything possible to promote the. sale and distribution of government securities. The banker can render an equally great sejvice in reconstruction by; co _the gqrgrnment lits t to teahte - .States the lessons of sound fi nd wise investment. In pro mothis cause the banker will aid his institution and the financial sit uation in general at the same time. rNow that' the war is over the pea pie should be impressed with the wis dom of holding their government so curities and als.o of purchasing more, from time to time. The more gener 1ally the people of the United States Iabsorb government securities the -greate-r will be the ability of the corn mercial banks to devote practically; all of their resouroes to furnishing - adequate credit to the commerce '*nd industry of the country. Providing short-time credit to corn merce and industry is their normal peace-time function. The sale and -movemerit of farm crops. manufac-: tured products ad other c-ommrodities, aswell as the contir.uous and efficient employmer-t cf labor, in fact, the whole industrial process will be promoted by permitting the commercial banks to. -devote all their resources to this~ function. The people of the United States should. therefore, be encouraged to pay off their installments and borrow ings on bond collateral as rapidly as possible. and also to purchase iddt tional government securities as s sued from time to time or in the mar ket. If this is done the people of this country will be benefitted in a two fold way. They will free material and labor for the production of commodi ties which are now so desperately need the woi -ove5r. At the same time they will be strengthening them selves financially. HOW THEY GROW Plant a crop. Nothing happees Nothing that one can see. Be patient. The seed spr-outs.
